lsrecial teleeram o the plspatch.l

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April u. The
resolution introduced yesterday fixing
the 3D. of May as the date for balloting
for senator was not called mp to-day, as
the Camden men have not completed
their plans. A resolution introduced
IN the Senate designating tho 26th OF
April as the day of adjournment was
defeated. and a resolution, which was
introduced il the House, 10 the effect
that II was the sense OF the members
that the session should not last more
than nine or tn days, and which goes
over until tomorrow, viii be defeated
The Republicans only support these
resolutions hoping To impress the peo-
ple Of the state with the belief that
they favor a reduction OF expenses,
while. all the same. they know that the
business cannot be completed III that
time. even If there were no senator 10
elect
President Price. Of the Senate, and
one of the leaders OF the kickers, said
in an interview to-day that he did not
question the right Of this session to
elect u senator, aud was in favor OF
elccting one If It can be done.
II looks now as though the fight be-
tween the caucus and anti-caucus
Democrats will be renewed, but the
time is TOO far OF 10 make any prcdic-
iions with certainty.
Three bills of importance were intro
duccd in the House to-day. The first
bv Mr.. Chow, of Jefferson provides
!0r the regulation Of railroad freight
and passenger traffic, to prevent unjust
discrimination and eXtOrtion IN freight
and passenger rates, TO punish
fine same, 10 prescribe mode
of procedure and rules OF evidence
relating thereto, to appoint commission
crs. and TO prescribe their powers and
luties. The other two were introduced
bv MIR. BcckNith, Of jefferson. The
first Drohibits railroads from carrying
public officers free of charge or for a
iess charge than the usual rate and
fine second prohibits railroads from
carving delegates to political cOnven-
,,ons free or for q reduced rate, and de-
fines what shall constitute IL political
convention.
These three bills were prepared by
Governor Wilson, and the first is very
long. II il probable that the Railroad
Committee will embody them III one
bill and make number of alterations
in them when they are reported back.
The debate over them will probably con-
tinue three or four days, as the bills
contain some very radical measures.

NoEFoLK, Va. April 2l.-The sui
eide of Lieutenant Dauenhower causes
much feeling in naval circles here. 1t
l. learned that while on his recent visit
to Norfolk IN command OF the training
ship Constellation. from which be had
lust returned when he committed the
act which so suddenly terminated his
hfc, be gave evidence that his mind
was unsettled. While in conversation
with one Of the highest ranking naval
officers at this station he said that he
thought he would resign from the
navy. as bis head was going back on
HIM again, and, on being advised to
tokc few days rest at Old Point, he
said 81 don't know whether I'll dc 1t
or not" These words were spoken in
al excited manner, which was entirely
uncollcd for, "a the advice was given in
the kindest spirit.
The following letter from Lieutenant

ton of Lieutenant DancnhOwer' S mind
CONSTELLATION, April j., 1881
Ny Dear Mr.. Little.--I appreciate
the kindness of your visit, and ] feel
deeply the fact that l could not be of

For several days | have not been able
IL sleep or cat, and yesterday was the
elimination Of that subjective feeling
that's ometimes surprises ones self. Last
night slept and to-day | have been
able to eat. My first visit i'll Norfolk

tie pleasure of meeting your family.
thanking you cordially for your warm
